What We Fund

Library, speech, forensics and theater programs in the communities of Brillion, Chilton, Hilbert, Kiel, New Holstein and Stockbridge. Grant awards rotate on an annual basis among interest areas (library, speech, forensics and theater). The 2023 area of focus is Library.

What We Don't Fund

Organizations that are not among those determined by the IRS to be public charities. This encompasses most charitable, scientific, social service, educational and religious organizations described in § 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) of the tax code, and private operating foundations. The Foundation will not normally make grants to private non-operating foundations. Grants may also be made to units of government (this includes Native American tribal governments) for public purposes.
